  • "We absolutely loved The Salt House - it went beyond our expectations."

    Just about everything was catered for and it made for a wonderful, luxurious stay in such a beautiful place. We do have a couple of points if the property owner is interested: - A couple of large casserole type dishes would have been very helpful - particularly given how well the kitchen was otherwise equipped. - The en-suite in the North Bedroom would have benefitted from a towel rack closer to the sink Other than that, it was truly a breathtaking house in a breathtaking location...

    Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted to hear Salt House went beyond your expectations, we are thrilled that you found the property to have everything catered for which made it a wonderful, luxurious stay. We will be sure to pass your comments onto the owner of the property for their consideration. We do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.

  • "Absolutely stunning property, we were not disappointed !"

    ! We had a great time at the Salthouse, it was how we imagined if we had won the lottery, a real taste of luxury. The views were amazing (wish the trees were lower) but managed to spot some dolphins from the living room balcony, keep an eye out for birds diving in the sea and circling above and the dolphins won’t be far away ! Lovely walk down the coastal path to the beach. We used the Harbour Hotel Spa with the complimentary passes, not to be confused with the Carbis Bay Spa, which is also nearby, along the coastal path. The treatments were amazing, definitely recommend. We visited St Ives, parking in Trentwith car park and got the bus down and back for £1.50 each way. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and my only preference would be bigger beds, to add to the luxury, none the less they were king size and super comfy ! There were some days when a lot of us showered closer together, unintentionally and we used all the hot water so some had to shower luke warm but this resolved and we spaced it out on following days a bit to avoid this again. All facilities were spot on, plenty of equipment in the kitchen for everyone. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back one day. Thank you so much !!

    We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and were lucky enough to see the dolphins. Your feedback will be passed onto our Property Management team. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "We absolutely loved the house!"

    ! It’s definitely a 5 star house. And the views are to die for! It’s stunning and has everything you could need. The kitchen is great for cooking in and we loved all of the appliances. The dining table is large and had plenty of space for our family of 6 adults and 2 children. The lounge is a great social area and we loved the huge sofas! Also it’s great to have the separate snug for those wanting to watch TV and not disturb the others. The only thing we would comment on is the beds were small for the size of bedrooms and perhaps could benefit from being upgraded. Location wise the house is great. It’s a short 15 min walk into St Ives along the coastal path and an even shorter one to Carbis Bay beach. We also walked to The Gannet and The Cornish Arms in Carbis Bay - both were great!

    Thank you very much for your feedback and lovely comment following your recent holiday at Salt House and we are so pleased to hear you loved the house and good to hear you appreciated the wonderful views across the bay too.

  • "We had a lovely stay at the Salt House and it had all the facilities we needed with amazing views!"

    However, the cleanliness was not up to standard for the rating of the house. The kitchen and living room floor was filthy which wasn’t great with a crawling baby. We ended up cleaning it ourselves. The downstairs bathrooms smelt damp and the beds were hard and not the greatest comfort for any of us who stayed. We had trouble with the hot water to start with but this was fixed once I contacted the team who sent a plumber out to fix it. The fire was also not working which we were told about beforehand but it was a disappointment.

    We are very glad to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at Salt House. Our cleaners were very disheartened though to find on your departure cigarette butts all over the garden and discarded bottles. Salt House has been cleaned for seven years by one of the areas renowned cleaning companies who are used to cleaning to the highest standards, and properties are always checked by Carbis Bay Holidays and periodically cleaning is also checked independently by Visit England. Salt House further benefits from considerable annual re investment meaning we have retained one of the highest ratings from Visit England since opening years ago, recognising all furnishings and decoration, including mattresses, are of high quality and replaced and refreshed whenever needed. We are aware that the only issue from your review that you reported during your stay was regarding the hot water. On visiting, our representative found the programmer had been adjusted, and simply re set it back to the changeover setting, solving the issue. We gather they also made efforts to advise you of this, but you remained unobtainable for the remainder of your stay. We are sorry the fire place remains out of action whilst a new seal is sourced. Deliveries of bespoke furnishings can take a few weeks as you will understand. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  • "We have had a brilliant week at the Salthouse as mentioned the property is very comfortable, very well equipped and a great place to bring the whole family, the location is excellent with some of the best beaches I have ever seen."

    The house is lovely, however the price being charged and particularly for next year, I expect it to be five star. The set up is great and very comfortable, although I felt aspects could have been cleaner, there was areas of dust and cobwebs on high level hard to reach areas that where untouched. The property has not been decorated this year and particularly the outside looks tired, quiet a few of the external lamps are not working in the garden again not what is expected for the 5 star price tag. With that said we have had a brilliant week at the Salthouse as mentioned the property is very comfortable, very well equipped and a great place to bring the whole family, the location is excellent with some of the best beaches I have ever seen. Shame about the Carbis Bay Hotel having withdrawn the spa passes and discounts, this was a great benefit the Salthouse offered, to set it apart again perhaps the property could be equipped with a hot tub. Overall I would highly recommend the Salthouse, however next years rates are just too much of an increase for our budget.

    Thank you for your review and we are delighted you have enjoyed your stay at Salt House and would highly recommend it to other guests. Salt House is independently assessed by Visit England and is proud to retain its 5* Gold rating and current ‘outstanding rating’ with Sykes Cottages based on customer reviews. This reflects the high level of investment made at the property to maintain its very high standards. We understand your disappointment that the Carbis Bay Hotel no longer allows non-resident Spa Passes but we hope you were able to use the free Spa Passes that Salt House continues to offer at the local St Ives Harbour Hotel. We are sorry that a few garden light bulbs were not working at the property, which we would have addressed had you reported this during your stay.

    Great location just a short walk to St Ives, beautiful house with loads of space for the family and incredible views of the ocean. There was a small issue with the hot water on the first couple of days which had been raised by a previous tenant and could have been addressed before our stay. However the property manager arranged for an engineer to come out quickly and resolve the issue. All in all, we had a brilliant stay and we definitely hope to book Salt House again at some point in the future.

A day tiny carpark as the hotel since we've come has taken alot of the space but..thats my only moan. We saw seals at Carbis in the evening and the bar we had cocktails.. very stunning house unfortunately we looked into next year same date but no way can we pay more than double we paid this year its quite shocking how the price has jumped from £3.000.00 to over £7.000.00!!!

    This house and the location exceeded our expectations and we would all most certainly go back again. A dream property that I would love to own myself! The only reason we didn’t score a perfect 5 stars is that there were a few minor problems with malfunctioning TVs, media, bulbs and hot water on day 1. They could have been checked during changeover. However, the housekeeper and other staff were very friendly and sorted most of the problems out while we were there. Otherwise it was just the most idyllic holiday."

The property

Salt House is a stunning, luxury property that has been uniquely designed to provide extremely spacious holiday accommodation, with designer furnishings, beautiful sea views, feature bathrooms and private, landscaped gardens.

As soon as you walk into Salt House you are wowed by the panoramic ocean views in front of you through the floor to ceiling glazed doors that make up the entire seaward wall of the house.

This exclusive retreat is within walking distance of St. Ives, one of Cornwall’s prettiest harbour towns, with its cobbled streets, boutique shops and iconic galleries, as well as several beautiful white sandy beaches that line the coastal path around to Carbis Bay.

This modern home exudes style, making it the perfect holiday destination for discerning guests including large groups, family and friends, and a location with the wow factor for any special occasion. This unique coastal property has been designed to provide complete privacy whilst enjoying the constantly changing beautiful sea views from all living spaces, including two 40’ balconies and the fabulous, landscaped terrace garden.

The panoramic sea views are magnificent, sweeping across St Ives Bay to Hayle Towans taking in Godrevy lighthouse.

Every thought has been given to allow the sense of complete peace and tranquility as you relax in this well-appointed home from home. Salt House has everything that discerning holiday guests could wish for on vacation, including a modern, high-quality kitchen and fine tableware to serve a perfectly positioned dining and living area, which allows everybody to socialise and relax whilst taking advantage of the mesmerising sea views.

Music can also be streamed through the integrated surround sound music system to add to the ambience.

The Snug allows a further, separate intimate space to escape to and snuggle up on the sofa to chill out, enjoy a favourite book or film, or challenge family and friends on the Playstation 4 Pro console. All the bedrooms at Salt House are very spacious and enjoy stunning views over the beautiful, landscaped gardens out to sea.

Designer furniture has been carefully chosen with comfort in mind and perfectly positioned to help enjoy the beautiful views from this private setting.

The large feature bathrooms with freestanding baths and large, walk-in rain showers provide the perfect spot for pampering.

A set of crisp white luxury bed linen and White Company towels and bathrobe are provided for each guest to enjoy during their stay.

Salt House provides every guest a perfect getaway for that much needed holiday respite. The Master bedroom is the epitome of luxury with a walk-in closet, dressing or study table and full-height glass bathroom wall allowing you to survey the views from the Victoria and Albert bath and rain shower.

The spacious and unique designer styles of Bedrooms One and Two means they can also serve as second and third master bedrooms with stunning bathrooms and private balconies allowing guests to drink in the uninterrupted sea views out to Godrevy lighthouse.

Bedrooms four and five boast super-king zip and link beds, each of which can be arranged as two single beds upon request, and benefit from a large modern family bathroom.

Outside, the large, decked terrace and garden with sun loungers and dining facilities allow guests to soak up the warmth of the Cornish sun.

The garden extends down two further terraces which have been grassed.

A range of garden games are provided for your entertainment. Salt House enjoys immediate access to the beautiful coastal path on Hain Walk that leads within minutes to some of Cornwall’s most beautiful white sandy beaches in St Ives and Carbis Bay.

The captivating coast of St Ives is something very special.

The pretty harbour town is surrounded on three sides by golden sandy beaches that gives rise to a unique phenomenon, the St Ives light, which is particularly stunning due to the reflective quality of the combined sea and sand.

This lighting has drawn and inspired artists for centuries and is a big reason why St Ives is known as the creative capital of The Duchy of Cornwall.

The stunning landscape can be discovered on foot, by car or boat, and a myriad of adventures await.

For those who enjoy watersports, the area is fantastic for a range of surfing, kayaking, sailing, snorkelling, stand up paddle boarding and Hawaiian canoeing, with local centres arranging equipment hire and lessons.

About the location

ST IVES

Penzance 6 miles.

St Ives is one of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns with narrow streets, tight-packed cottages nestling around the quayside, the iconic Tate Gallery and world famous Barbara Hepworth Museum, fabulous beaches, superb shops, a thriving community of artists, great pubs and restaurants and much more. Several sea fishing trips also leave from the harbour daily. With its semi-Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, it's easy to see why this is Cornwall’s premier holiday resort. With something to offer visitors all year-round including food and music festivals, art and cookery classes, Christmas markets and the legendary new year festivities and fireworks displays.

The surrounding area in Cornwall also has much for the visitor to see and do with abundant wildlife, fabulous seaside, coastal and cliffside walks, the unique cliffside setting of the Minack theatre, the Celtic mysteries of the Land's End Peninsula and Great Britain’s most southerly ‘Lizard point’, are all within easy reach. Cyclists can choose between the Cornish Way and the First and Last trails, and golfers will love the West Cornwall Golf Club. The nearby Geevor Tin Mine offers a fascinating insight into Cornwall’s mining heritage. A superb destination!
